Simply put, I ♥ my Audio-Technica ES7s to death.
The impactful, full-bodied, yet still muddi-less bass.
The forward, exciting, fun mids.
The somewhat-smooth, sibilance-free treble.
The wide, but not too wide soundstaging.
It seems like the sound signature of these are what I'm looking for.
However, using a portable headphone as my primary headphone just doesn't cut it.
Therefore, I'm looking for a significant upgrade from my ES7s while still maintaining "roughly" the same sound signature. They can depart a bit from the overall feel, but I'm not looking for a big difference in sound signature.
I was looking at the Alessandro MS1s (to be modded into MS1000s), but I'm not too sure now if they're the best fit for me.
I listen mostly to genres based off rock and pop (ie. punk pop, pop rock, alt. rock, dream pop, punk rock, rock, pop, etc.)
Isolation and size is of little importance. I will/may have an amp in the near future, so any headphone, no matter how "hard or easy to drive" can be considered.
My budget is around $100, but stretchable if necessary.
Thanks!
